very nice. i really like the figures, with the poses (i wish i could do it half as good). Really good. The outside wall, specially the inside of it, looks really good, but if i may give some criticism.... something is missing in the outside walls of the house... maybe a darker wash to mark the stones a bit more, i do not know. if they could look like the inside of the wall, it will be fantastic.

@Spanjaard: Thanks for your comments. Concerning the stones/ the outside wall of the house. Guess you mean that the stones may have a bit more grain? I also noticed that and recently discussed with a friend how to get grain to that plain walls/ stones. Simple idea of my friend, rolling a ball of aluminium foil with light preasure over the wall. Looks absolutely convincing. My next houses/ walls will meet the alumnium ball 🙂 The inside walls are plastered but wouldn´t do this outside as the house was built on a real subject and I wanted to stay as close as I can.

Lot's of interesting details.
The greenery on the walls and the tree (what did you use for them btw), the hinges on the gate, the cement between the tiles over the gate, the figure and tiles paint, etc.
Well done Coporado 👍

Nice, I like it 🙂
I also like the fact that you carved the base into the shape of Sicily 😄

Actually I was kind of comparing last two pictures. Last picture, the area of the wall not plastered looks fantastic, and it is made with the same type of stones than the side of the house. In the picture before you see the house wall, with the same stones, but looking kind of more simple (not sure how to explain better). Maybe it is just the picture, and it looks better in reality
Everything else is really good, but that wall needs something

really nice dio, nice idea for the base 🙂 , as spanjaard, if find the wall house seems less textured, more smooth than the other wall, I think that's what wanted to explain spanjaard ??

@Rui: Thanks mate! The greenery on the wall is model train leave floor. The tree was made of wood from the garden, Seemoos and model train leaves.
@Choppa Nutta: Thanks!
@Spanjaard, sebH: Now I understood. This is due I used different materials for the wall and the house. The wall is made of insulation board which has kind of rough grain such as stones have. The house is made of plain styrodur which does not have such grain. This is why I will use that aluminium ball technique next time for plain styrodur.

to texture plain styrodur i use metal brushes, usually used to clean the barbecue 🙂

@sebH: Do you use the brush after cleaning the barbecue - joking 🙂 May you explain how you use that brushes on the styrodur, like rubbing, stippling or whatever? THanks!

don't know how to say it in english, but i just use it to hit the styro, so it will make some little hole in the styro...hard to explain, just take the brush and hit your styro with it 🙂
